I think it's a good thing becuaes you can get a freind.-rayna

a little bit of both it probbly scares the horses but it looks fun for the people- kiera :)
No, because I think think they need to be free.-Julia
I think yes and no. :) Yes, it's a good idea because Assateague is a small island and too many horses could destroy the wildlife on the island. No, it's not a good idea because I think the horses should stay free. -Trumbull
umm i think a both because welll one they neeed to be free and they need to stay wild but at the same time they would be safer in poney penning day because theres nothing that can hurt them or kindnap them so really i think yes and no-anna
